LRT Safety

[BASE]

These type of situations have been reported enough, and are clearly obvious enough that the onus is no longer on the general public to be reporting. Those responsible for ensuring safe and clean spaces need to be taking action and maintaining a consistent presence until the point in which the disorder is not a routine daily occurrence. Reporting can serve a purpose for situations that are one-offs or abnormal.

I sent Councillor Stevenson a very long and detailed email about this entrance today. If I do not get an adequate response back, I intend to go to the media.

I feel that is fair if politicians are not responsive. I don't get it, she should be the one leading and taking a stronger interest in dealing with downtown issues given much of downtown is in her area.

Maybe also a joint letter between Downtown community league, Downtown Business Association and Edmonton Transit Riders to media as well and Cc city council?

I wonder if it's possible to extend the stairs at some entrances to include a landing in the middle (something like the Central Station stairs onto the train platform). It would be two sets of 12 stairs instead of 24 stairs. Also, the sightlines would extend further into the stations and outside, discouraging loitering.
